Lu Yunxi followed behind the old man, looking up at his surroundings with a surprised expression.
What kind of place is this? The people of this sect are so powerful that they can actually open up a new dimension! This is too amazing, right? It's like another world. Even the time is different from outside. It's still summer outside, but it's autumn here.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Lu Yunxi shrank her neck. This wasn't just the beginning of autumn, but late autumn, almost turning into winter, right?
The old man took her for a few dozen meters and came to a bridge.
This bridge was the kind of wooden bridge that you often see in horror movies, shaking violently, rather than a solid stone bridge.
The dilapidated wooden bridge is built high in the sky, and looking down you can see the bottomless clouds.
The old man swung the rope, and the wooden bridge swayed with it. He nodded and looked at her with a serious expression, "Little girl, this is the first stage of the sect's assessment. Just walk straight along this bridge. When you reach the end, ring the bell hanging there, and you will pass the assessment."
"Is there no fork in the road?"
"No, the first level tests your strength and wisdom. There are dangerous creatures like wild beasts, insects, and snakes along the way, and you need to find a way to defeat them." The old man shook his head and then produced a strange sign from somewhere. "Hold this sign. If you encounter a danger you can't resolve, crush it immediately. This will teleport you back to the valley you just came from, and you won't lose your life."
"But once you crush the sign, it means you have failed the test." After the old man finished explaining, he looked at her deeply and disappeared on the spot.
Only one sentence was left floating in the wind.
"Good luck!"
Lu Yunxi glanced at the place where the old man disappeared, then looked down at the sign in his hand with the three big words "Yanyu Palace" engraved on it. He put his things away and then calmly stepped onto the wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge was shaking violently, but luckily there were ropes on both sides so I could hold on to them when I lost my balance.
Of course, she didn't use this method in the end. She walked quickly and steadily, crossed the wooden bridge quickly, and came to a forest.
Because many leaves have turned yellow and fallen, the light is not blocked by the shade of the trees, but can be seen very clearly.
She thought about it, took off the bow and arrow on her back, and did not look for another stick to explore the way, but walked straight forward.
However, it was beyond her expectations.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour in this forest that the old man said was extremely dangerous, she did not find any danger.
In this way, she increased her speed, even using the basic light skills she had learned, and ran all the way.
at the same time.
The old man who had already left the assessment space was also rushing out.
Of course he wouldn't stay in the valley foolishly and wait for the little girl to come out!
As a sect elder, he'd examined countless newcomers, and this first stage had never changed. But even those who made it through the first stage quickly took at least a full day! Most took three to five days. Of course, many more gave up halfway through.
Anyway, the little girl will be out for a long time, so let's eat something outside first! It's been a long time since I had a snack outside!
The elder soon arrived at the city near the valley and strolled through the streets.
Well, he had already eaten at this mutton shop before, and it was delicious. And the best thing about this bun shop was their cabbage buns. Oh? What kind of shop is this? I guess it's new.
The elder hummed a song in his heart, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the restaurant slowly: "Waiter, bring up all your signature dishes and some good wine!"
The waiter immediately came over cheerfully and took him to a seat by the window: "Okay, sir, please sit here."
The elder nodded, and while he sat and listened to the gossip around him, he waited for the food to arrive. At the same time, he was thinking about what to eat for dinner.
After he finished dinner, he would go back to the valley to check. By then, at the speed the little girl was walking, she should have started to encounter danger. That's right, their assessments wouldn't be so inhumane that they'd encounter danger right from the start. The first section of the road was relatively safe, but danger would only start to appear in the middle, and the further you went, the greater the danger.
Just as the elder was calculating the time to go back, a fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.
The elder sniffed, curiosity piqued: "What is this shop making? It smells so good!"
The waiter explained cheerfully, "Sir, our signature dishes here are roujiamo (Chinese bacon) and spicy soup. They'll be served right away! Please wait a moment!"
Almost immediately after the waiter finished speaking, he went into the kitchen and brought out the old man's portion.
The old man picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the roujiamo that was full of meat. The gravy dripped down, which was particularly delicious. The spicy and salty soup tasted more and more delicious, making people more and more addicted to it.
Wow! This smell is so good! No wonder this shop is so popular even though it just opened a short time ago!
The old man was enjoying his meal with a bite of roujiamo and a sip of soup. When he looked down, he suddenly found that the badge on his waist was flashing a dazzling red light.
He was shocked and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He picked up the badge and looked at it carefully. After finding that it was really lit and not an illusion, he quickly finished the food he ordered in a few bites and hurried back to the valley.
However, the portion size at this restaurant was too large, and he was so stuffed that he couldn't run faster even if he wanted to.
When she finally arrived at the valley, she saw the little girl who had just said goodbye to her sitting on the ground eating roasted rabbit.
